Clothing cord stuck in drum

While drying a draw string cord from a pair of sport shorts got stuck betweenthe drum and outside wall of the inside of the dryer? Make sense. Now thedryer runs but makes a bumping sound. Cannot get the rest of the draw stringout.

You should be able to get the draw string completely out by trying to open the top of the dryer which may be hinged. The front of the dryer may open by prying at the front between the top and the front.Depending on your model there should be some means of getting into the dryer to examine what is doing it. Just make sure you SHUT OFF THE POWER OR PULL THE PLUG BEFORE WORKING ON IT. SAFETY FIRST!

The filter simply allows the dryer air to pass through and trap the lint so it will not collect in the exit tube or on the outer vent parts. If anything, the clothes inside the bin will just spin around and be there when you finish. The noise inside the dryer could be from something that was in the pant or shirt pocket and was floating around.

Water in the drum anytime after drying a load of clothes is not normal.

Was the load prior to you having found the condensation fully dried? If not, check for lint in the vent system and make sure that air is coming out of the vent (the flap or louvers on the vent cap should open fully on a short vent line). Even so, this would not account for a small amount of standing water in the drum.

The first thing that came to mind was outside air being drawn in through the vent. If you have air conditioning and a well-sealed house, the warm, moist air hitting the cool drum (in a relatively dry atmosphere) may cause condensation. Check the outside vent to ensure that the vent cap flap (or louvers) is (are) closing all the way. Convection or air flow from the basement to a vent fan in an upper level might cause this.

if your dryer feels hot inside and the drum tumbles then you have a blocked vent. check that the venting blows to the outside. do this test. unhook the vent behind the dryer, dry a load of clothing and if it dry on the first time then you know the house vent is clogged. cleaned or if you live in an appartment have maintenance clean.

I don't know if that is possible but trying running just bleach water through and start leaving the door open after taking laundry out. If it is unable to dry out then it will build up mold and mildew.

Please check if there's something stuck outside the rotating drum. Sometimes small cloth escapes out of the drum during drying and gets stuck in the rotating shaft. Just try to reach the back side fo the rotating drum inside and make sure that there's no cloth that's stucked inside. Please make sure that you unplug the cord first.
If in case that you did not find anything, you may have a busted capacitor or worse, the motor is defective. It could be that the motor windings are shorted or a bad bushing.
Hope this helps.

Although this is possible, usually one of the wheel bearings may have gotten dry or even is stuck. Inside there are wheels that the drum is steadied by and that rotate with the drum. If it's a year old it should be under warranty and a tech can fix it. If that is a problem, remove the back (after unplugging it) find the wheels and rotate the drum by hand. If a wheel is stuck or dry you will find it. I hope this helps.

this is an airflow problem. make sure you are using a rigid metal duct behind the machine and not a flexible one. clean out the exhaust duct behind the dryer and in the wall all the way to the outside. any residue of lint inside these ducts will increase drying time dramatically. basically clean everywhere the air flows.

if you already checked this and think it is a different problem then let me know, i will help you figure it out.

Hey - had the same thing happen to me - thought I was going crazy.....take the outside of the washer apart and your missing items will be on the outside of the washing drum....I think it's just a few screws to get it apart.....
